Leveraging Communication Networks to Adapt to Advanced Military Threats

In today’s battlespace arena, data-heavy applications need secure and robust networks to support the seamless integration of applications. These resilient, high-speed networks feature low latency and seamless capacity on the battlefield and when managing disasters. 4G/ 5G offers the perfect network solution, with satellite providing connectivity in remote and rural areas. As military challenges and threats grow, tactical links and communication systems need to advance. These networks will offer a unique range of capabilities that enable all elements of the battlespace to connect in a flexible way and adapt to new risks.

Join us to learn how 4G/5G and non-terrestrial networks (NTNs) can support innovative new military applications using spaceborne or airborne assets and provide connectivity in areas previously with no coverage or during a crisis. You'll get an overview of the challenges facing LEO satellites and how coverage can be achieved to support data-driven applications.

The panel will explore two uses cases for the defense sector:

• Operating drones in a swarm using ground and satellite g-node B. This will focus on beamforming antennas to combat jamming threats, inter-connections between drones and 5G stations and mission preparations.
• Simulating communications on the battlefield to support autonomous vehicles. This will focus on managing remote sensing, real-time positioning and the management of tactical communications links.
